LL_model: Analysis: Logistic regression

In AgronomiaR/seedreg: Regression Analysis for Seed Germination as a Function of Temperature

Description

Logistic models with three (LL.3) or four (LL.4) continuous data parameters. This model was extracted from the drc package and adapted for temperature analysis in seed germination.

Usage

LL_model(
  trat,
  resp,
  npar = "LL.3",
  error = "SE",
  ylab = "Germination (%)",
  xlab = expression("Temperature ("^"o" * "C)"),
  theme = theme_classic(),
  legend.position = "top",
  cardinal = 0,
  r2 = "all",
  scale = "none"
)

Arguments

trat	Numerical or complex vector with treatments
resp	Numerical vector containing the response of the experiment.
npar	Number of model parameters
error	Error bar (It can be SE - default, SD or FALSE)
ylab	Variable response name (Accepts the expression() function)
xlab	treatments name (Accepts the expression() function)
theme	ggplot2 theme (default is theme_bw())
legend.position	legend position (default is c(0.3,0.8))
cardinal	defines the value of y considered extreme (default considers 0 germination)
r2	coefficient of determination of the mean or all values (default is all)
scale	Sets x scale (default is none, can be "log")

Details

The three-parameter log-logistic function with lower limit 0 is

f(x) = 0 + \frac{d}{1+\exp(b(\log(x)-\log(e)))}

The four-parameter log-logistic function is given by the expression

f(x) = c + \frac{d-c}{1+\exp(b(\log(x)-\log(e)))}

The function is symmetric about the inflection point (e).

Value

The function returns the coefficients and respective p-values; statistical parameters such as AIC, BIC, pseudo-R2; cardinal and optimal temperatures and the graph using ggplot2 with the equation.

Note

if the maximum predicted value is equal to the maximum x, the curve does not have a maximum point within the studied range. If the minimum value is less than the lowest point studied, disregard the value.
